Something for Kate

Something for Kate

Something For Kate return, both artistically charged and sonically rebellious, on their outstanding fifth album, Desert Lights.

Desert Lights presents a shift towards a stripped-down, live rock sound, which the band will soon be bringing to live audiences as they put the finishing touches on their album tour schedule.

Watch the video for the first single ‘Cigarettes and Suitcases’ right here on FasterLouder.

‘Cigarettes and Suitcases’ is out now, and features a raft of exclusive and high quality B-sides. Cuts include ‘The Actor’, a tune from the L.A. sessions; a fantastic cover of the Echo & The Bunnymen classic, ‘The Killing Moon’; plus a rare live recording of fan favourite “Prick”, recorded live at The Prince of Wales Hotel St. Kilda in 2004. 

The brand new album, Desert Lights is in stores Sat July 1st, and is available as a beautifully packaged, limited edition 2CD set with a live bootleg disc.
